    Need help with my henglong smoke unit

    How many drops are you supposed to put into your henglong tank so as to not flood the system?

    Hi Slurve,
    I removed mine from my new tank during strip down for repaint and rebuild without seeing if it worked but from everything I have read for years on multiple forums you only need 1 drop which will give approx 1 hr of smoke.
    Any more than 1 or 2 drops can flood it and cause problems.
    Due new shipping regulations in past few yrs in many countries tank vendors do not supply the HL liquid in the box any more.

    If you cannot buy the proper smoking fluid from a tank vendor then you can use regular glycerin many posts say.
    hope that helps.😃

        Sabre27 is correct, just one drop is plenty. "Less is more"! The fluid is inserted into the same tube out of which the exhaust effect is emitted, so too much fluid will clog that tube, preventing the heated exhaust to exit, which will quickly bog down the generator.

          So is the fluid inserted through the exhaust (the plastic piece through which it is emitted) or the tube?

            each tank is different, but the fluid should go where the smoke comes out.
